{mosimage} Don't forget that this Saturday, May 3rd, is Free Comic Book Day! Most comic shops will have a selection of free comics from major and independent publishers, all yours for the taking. Some may also feature additional events or special sales.

This year, IDW will be providing a free copy of the first issue of the Transformers Animated comic, which is an adaptation of the first episode of the TV series. Actually, it's composed entirely of screenshots of the animated Animated, with dialogue converted to speech balloons. A 4-page PDF preview of the comic is available here.
